    None of us here are medically qualified to really help, but reading your report it sounds as though you have a fair bit of osteoarthritis - not unusual after damaging our bones unfortunately. Looks like you did a good job when you had your accident.😣

    I'd ask the GP to refer for investigations around the osteochondral defect of the talus (ankle I think) when you are able to see them and to discuss your options going forwards. Perhaps you have private cover with your work and maybe are able to see a consultant for an opinion?

    I expect it will be well into the new year before you can get an appt with your GP if it's anything like my surgery.

    Best of luck you have my sympathy

    Hello @roofed

    Soaking my feet in a bowl of cold water works as pain relief for me, and @frogmorton has the rather wonderful idea of using a frozen botter of water under the toes for the same pain relief. It's worth giving them ago.

    Best Joanne
